I Don't Even Like Women

And Other Lies That Get in the Way of Sacred Sisterhood

De: Natalie Runion

Narrado por: Natalie Runion

Collaborator or competition? Trusted friend or backstabbing rival? Bestselling author Natalie Runion flips the script on narratives that keep us from enjoying God’s design for female friendships.

Even women in the Church often find it hard to trust—or like—other women. But when we see one another as a refuge, rather than an enemy, we can delight in God’s life-giving design for sacred sisterhood. In I Don’t Even Like Women, Natalie Runion shows us how meaningful female friendships not only foster spiritual growth, they equip women to live out their calling with boldness and joy. You’ll find yourself in these chapters as Natalie:

• Breaks down the lies that distance us from other women
• Validates the reality of past trauma and equips us to find healing
• Shares stories (with a good dose of humor!) that help us move beyond insecurities, fear of rejection, and the comparison game
• Offers practical help for strengthening current relationships and building new ones

When we take apart our own false narratives and assumptions, we see that spiritually enriching, healthy friendships are essential to the Body of Christ. A refreshing recognition of how God made each of us in His image—and not only likes us but cherishes us—I Don’t Even Like Women focuses on how the unique experiences of women can unify us rather than divide us—for the good of God’s Kingdom.

I Don’t Even Like Women by Natalie Runion

Natalie Runion’s I Don’t Even Like Women: And Other Lies That Get in the Way of Sacred Sisterhood is one of those books that feels like a heart-to-heart conversation with a trusted friend. I found myself nodding along, laughing at her humor, and at times pausing to reflect on my own relationships with other women.

What I loved most is how honest and relatable the book is. Runion doesn’t shy away from naming the hard things — comparison, jealousy, past hurts, fear of rejection — but she does it with so much grace and encouragement. She reminds us that sisterhood is not only possible, it’s sacred.

The mix of personal stories, biblical truth, and practical steps made the book both inspiring and useful. It’s not just theory; it gave me real things to think about and apply in my own life. I also appreciated her humor and warmth, which made a tough subject easier to read and absorb.

For me, this book was a beautiful reminder that healing is possible and that women can be for one another instead of against each other. I would recommend it to anyone who has ever felt let down by female friendships, or who longs to experience deeper community with other women.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A must-read for every woman who wants to break free from lies and step into the gift of true sisterhood.

Awesome needed book!

This is something so many struggle with and is not addressed. It lets you know you’re not crazy for feeling this way while pointing you to God to heal that so we can get better as a body. Love this

Natalie is so relatable

I like how Natalie is relatable, and explains things without complicated wording & sticks to biblical truth.
